Please tell me a summary of your story living with HIV/AIDS
I have been living with HIV since 1987, it has been an upwards battle. When I found out, I just had to keep it a secret. I just knew that I would probably pass by the time I was 40. I can’t believe that I’m 62-years old, sitting here talking about being positive for half of my life.
Some days I feel as if we have progressed so far. But there is a long way to go.
What would it mean to you if we ended this HIV epidemic?
I would hope that the stigma would go away.
What does U=U mean to you? How has it impacted your life?
It make me feel great to know I cannot transmit the virus to others, but I do not think the average person knows this or even understands or believes this medical fact.
How many years have you been undetectable?
For at least 6 years.
Anything else I should know about you?
I’m a very creative person.
